Abstract
Recently, I had an opportunity to visit with U.S. Department of Agriculture personnel at Mission, Tex. We discussed at length various problems associated with the sterile-male release program for the control of the New World screwworm fly, Cochliomyia hominivorax. Subsequently, the Genetics Society of Australia and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) joined in inviting me to be their foreign visitor for 1983. A good deal of my time in Australia was spent with M. J. Whitten (Director of the Division of Entomology, CSIRO, Canberra City, Australia) and his colleagues discussing the genetic control program being developed in Australia for the control of the sheep blowfly (Lucilia cuprina).
